The stove repair I did on a unit Friday that costed me $0 and 15 minutes becomes a 10 day out $300 PITA with a PM.

--> Missing medicine cabinet/mirror - replace.Estimated cost: $200FINAL INTERIOR CLEANING:--> Clean bathrooms (Scrubbing Bubbles and Bleach should be part of this cleaning), sweep and mop floors, vacuum carpets, clean window blinds, damp wipe all molding to remove built-up dust, clean refrigerator and stove and any other appliances.

So I don't really see anyone at fault here.... the issue is not under the control of either partyBased on the civil code posted earlier its going to come down to how a judge is going to interpret "habitable"..... the landlord has provided everything within his/her power to have everything working and ready to go....the inability for the utility to come out and turn it on for 16 days is not within his/her control and it was impossible to predict that there was going to be such a huge delay (the time frame seems to be WAY out of the norm).....and living in LA without hot water and access to a working stove is going to suck, but in practical terms, the place is very habitable.

I'm talking induction stoves and heat pump appliances everywhere for AC, water heating, etc. 

In the last 4 years we we have totally renovated it adding a sun room, new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and refinishing floors, refurbished the buck stove etc. you get the picture.

The tenant was so sloppy, he would leave months of takeout containers piled up in the fridge and layer upon layer of food slop on the stove, on the floor, being the cabinets, everywhere.

Hate it when the pahked cah gets all stove up!

Yes...I do....I leave one in each bathroom.I also leave a welcome packet containing....cleaning products, stainless steel appliance cleaner, glass top stove cleaner...ect :)

So stove X2, refrigerator X4, etc.Other than that, the transaction will look very similar to a standard residential transaction.

I don't like the oven being next to the stove.
